User ID: 873093 United States 06/22/2010 09:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am an autistic. Quoting: PhydeauIncredibly high functioning. You sure it's not asperger's? I haven't bothered to have the dx updated. I was diagnosed low functioning as a child. I was severe as a child. Though I personally believe that it was trauma-based, and not necessarily what you might call a proper diagnosis. However, I have a strong resentment of calling us ass burgers. It's simply inappropriate and is a deliberate setup for these kids to be psychologically tormented by their peers (as if kids needed any help being cruel). But I am definitely outside the norm. There are a lot of social issues for me. I know and recognize that people often see me as being angry even when I'm not, but I have not managed (despite years of trying) to find ways to speak that are both honest, and not angry-seeming. I have worked extremely hard for a large part of my life to be more "normal," and have used the "dysfunction" of my autism to follow the patterns of social interaction. I see human interaction and life like a system, a pattern, and that's how I manage to seem "high functioning." I also see the patterns and flow and rhythm of the English language, and that is why I'm able to use that with some degree of capability. I also had a speech impediment because I have an unusually large torus. I now speak normally (although with a nasal twang), but I still technically have a speech impediment. I've simply learned how to talk around it. So I am certainly on the low functioning side... except that I've learned to use it to become high functioning. I cannot do mathematics, and no matter how hard I've worked at it, I cannot overcome that. This is one of the greatest disappointments I have in myself. But I have come to understand that, between certain manners of speaking that I've not been able to undo, and the mathematics issue... there are simply some things that expose my autism despite the dedicated effort I have put into it. All I can do is to keep trying, I guess. No more requests in the "Strangest things" thread please. :hf: Past Lives requests thread: Thread: That Which Once Was: Past Lives |

I cannot do mathematics, and no matter how hard I've worked at it, I cannot overcome that. This is one of the greatest disappointments I have in myself. My math totally sucks. I can barely handle long division. I was gifted with strong linguistic skills and a natural understanding of sciences. However, that darn math thing just eludes me. Of course, it doesn't help that anything more than 4 digits goes "screwy" on me. But I have come to understand that, between certain manners of speaking that I've not been able to undo, and the mathematics issue... there are simply some things that expose my autism despite the dedicated effort I have put into it.

I meant that they named this particular issue "aspergers," which kids always translate to ass burgers. Hell, even a lot of adults do it. And I don't care who they named it after. They should have had the sense God gave a freaking termite, to not set up people with this issue for such VICIOUS spite. That wasn't aimed at you at all, it was aimed at the complete moran who decided this stupidity was a good idea.

User ID: 873093 United States 06/22/2010 09:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would say, for the most part, you've been quite successful in your goals. Quoting: PhydeauThank you. :) I often dismiss the whole "you're angry" or "you're not loving" business... because the people saying it have no idea at all just how far I've come. They compare me to themselves, instead of to myself 'before.' Which is just not realistic after all I've experienced. It has taken a LOT of work for me to get here. I've struggled to be able to function in society even slightly. So I thank you for noticing, and for your kind words.

I hope you don't ignore it because you feel you aren't "familiar enough with the specifics." Sandi seems to have done quite well. I am a literary student, and her writing skills are better than most people, with her claims of autism. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 970343 United States 06/22/2010 11:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To have your questions answered, you can refer to the post I made with the example of a mathmatical equation. Quoting: Sandi_TI am an autistic. I can barely do math at a 4th grade level, if I have help. If you want to explain to me in a way that I can personally understand, a mathematics answer will not help you. Furthermore, from what I DO understand of your post, you think that he has to post all the method that he used to arrive at his conclusions, as if spirituality is science and can be proven by the method of arrival. Yet the fact of spirituality is not a mathematical equation. Everyone's spiritual journey is, and has to be, different. Because everyone's life is different. Maybe HardTruth can explain it to you. |

And a bad and grievous sore fell on the men who had the mark of the beast, and on those who worshiped his image. Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial onto the sun. And it was given to him to burn men with fire. Rev 16:9 And men were burned with great heat. And they blasphemed the name of God, He having authority over these plagues. And they did not repent in order to give Him glory. Rev 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became darkened. And they gnawed their tongues from the pain. Rev 16:11 And they blasphemed the God of Heaven because of their pains and their sores. And they did not repent of their deeds.
